[PDF][PDF] Population estimates of North American shorebirds, 2012
Estimates of population size serve a number of important purposes for species'
conservation. For shorebirds, criteria based on proportions of a given population are used to …

Habitat and social factors influence nest-site selection in Arctic-breeding shorebirds
Habitat selection theory suggests that shorebirds should choose nest sites that maximize
survival and fitness. We investigated how habitat, and proximity to conspecific or …

Spatio-temporal responses of predators to hyperabundant geese affect risk of predation for sympatric-nesting species
The Arctic is undergoing rapid changes, with anthropogenic shifts in climate having
important and well-documented impacts on habitat. Populations of predators and their prey …

The influence of weather and lemmings on spatiotemporal variation in the abundance of multiple avian guilds in the Arctic
Climate change is occurring more rapidly in the Arctic than other places in the world, which
is likely to alter the distribution and abundance of migratory birds breeding there. A warming …
